To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our
Growing up, school was not a major factor in my life. I come from a hard-working, middle-class military family. My mother, a Filipino immigrant, was a homemaker. My father was a 21-year United States Marine veteran. They were my first impression of what I thought my future would be. Being the youngest of four children, I was expected to fall in line behind my siblings when it came to education. I was never pushed to excel in my studies, so I did just enough to get by. As I watched friends escape the grasp of a military town and ascend to their respective colleges, I was left wondering what was next for me. I attended my local community college for a brief period of time. I treated college no different than high school. I

As a high school senior, I spent all year searching for a compatible college that fits my requirements. I wanted a college that is affordable, so when I graduate I am not stuck with a massive debt. I wanted a campus that is has friendly people and feels like home. Finally, the college must provide me with the right skills to start my career. With those three standards in mind, I narrowed my choices to one perfect college.
Ever since I was a little girl my parents have been saving and preparing themselves for the day they send me off to college. I have a long line of family members that graduated from Southern University. I knew for a fact that Southern was going to be the school of my choice. August 22, 2012 was the first day of my freshman year in high school. Once I entered high school the only thing I could think about my graduation and my matriculation at Southern. I couldn’t think of anything more stressful than transitioning from high school to college. When I was in middle school a lot of people told me about high school and how it was hard. The things they told me made me think going to high school would be a huge step, well it has nothing on college. No more depending on people, I have to get it on my own. Now that I am in college, I will be faced with many challenges that I will have to make the right choice about on my own.
Although my parents were still living, and always just a phone call away, I felt as though I was on my own. I developed a sense of independence that I had never been exposed to before. Thus, I believe that the transition to college will be much less stressful for me as an individual since I have already experienced the changes that come along with attending a new school. For example, I am now accustomed to the large jump in population in an educational setting, I am capable of making new acquaintances through intelligent conversation, and I have developed the skills of surviving on my own, away from the safety of my parents. These skills will be necessary in the business field, which is what my intended area of study is. Ultimately, through my decision to move away from the only home I had ever known, I have started down a path of adulthood, and have found it in myself to forgive others no matter what the circumstance happens to be. Therefore, although this transition from childhood to maturity may have been stressful, it has proven to be beneficial when I examine the bigger picture; my
The transition from high school to college is a dynamic time in one’s life that parallels the change from childhood to adulthood. Both of these changes are dramatic and, as a result, feelings are difficult to put down into words. A messy combination of emotions fills the heart, surfacing in strange ways. Confident high school seniors go right back to the bottom of the chain when entering college as freshmen. These students start all over, just like entering grade school or high school for the first time. The move up from high school to college signals the switch from dependence to self-sufficiency. From a personal point of view, going through the experience of graduating high school and transferring to a residential college campus at STLCOP, made me realize I was no longer a kid and capable of making my own decisions.
Working long and laborious, only getting one day a week off, I didn’t give college a second thought. Yet, I still grew tired and bored of the work. Which lead to calling in sick to work, and working less just to hang out with the wrong crowd of people. Then reality kicked in, again. Realizing that I was a naïve brat who did not think that anyone else truly mattered, and getting into serious trouble with my parents (and ultimately with myself), I knew I needed to surround myself with positive support and influence. After months of going to see councilors and talking to friends I had an epiphany: I was wrong. Finally, I understood my parents, they were right all along and had only wanted what was best for me. At last I was able to look through a mature lens: my parents did everything that they could to teach me but I didn’t want to listen. I was just self-serving, everyone and everything matters and the world does not revolve around just one
As many as one in three first-year students won't make it back for sophomore year. It just so happened that I followed that statistic. Growing up in a very strict household and attending private Catholic school; I was ready to spread my wings and fly. I was looking forward to that independence, my own rules and living on my own. I was excited to get started on my college journey. In my mind, I was about to live the dream. I would have my own place to live, no rules, and get to hang out with friends! Oh, and College too. I wasn’t prepared to be so distracted by friends, parties, and doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Unfortunately, late night partying, skipping classes, waking up late and putting my studies on the back burner took effect on my life. I wasted money on my parent’s dime and then my dad put all that to a quick halt. Young adults flunk out of college for many reasons their first year.
